Detailed Profile in English

About me

I'm a 43 year old teacher and live near Pisa with my two daughters. I like reading, walking, swimming, going to cinema and theatre. I love writing and travelling.

Last year I published a novel: "Amira, in viaggio da Damasco verso la verità"

Qualifications & Experience

I have taught Italian for several years in Spain and Turkey at the Italian Culture Institute. I'm still teaching Italian in Pisa to students coming from all parts.

I have been teaching Italian on Skype since 2011.

I graduated in foreign language and literature at "Università of Genova". I attended Master Itals at "Università di Venezia".

Teaching Approach

I use the communicative method. From the beginning the students are encouraged to express themselves in simple sentences. At the same time I teach grammar through reflection on the phrases that we have used and exercises created specifically for each individual student.
